Q)
I’m taking medication to manage a health condition I have. I think the medication violates the rules set out in the WADA Code, what should I do?

It’s best to check the prohibited substances list first, however if your medication is on the list, you’ll need a note from your doctor stating that the medication is for a genuine medical condition. We’ll then discuss the possibility of a TUE with our sports medicine expert at the WNBF.

Q)
If I have to take a polygraph test what will happen?

A polygraph test is used as an additional method to ensure natural status beyond drug testing. A polygraph test is in lay terms a lie detector test. The test will be carried out by a qualified polygraph examiner who will ask you a series of questions about your status as a natural bodybuilder. A test will usually last anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes

Q)
If I need to get a drug test what will happen?

At a competition if you are asked to submit to a drug test this will usually take place via urinalysis. In this case you must make your whereabouts known to the drug control officer (DCO) until you are ready to provide a sample. The DCO will accompany you to the toilet to ensure there is no tampering with a urine sample, the sample will be deposited into the designated receptacle, prior to being decanted into the specimen tube by yourself. Only you will handle your sample throughout. Thereafter you will complete the accompanying paperwork which goes with your sample.

Q)
This is going to be my first time competing, what happens backstage?

A changing space will be provided for you to get ready for competition.

There will be a pump up area but bring your own bands/ pump up accessories

A programme/running order will be available on the day so you can estimate how much time you have to prepare.

If you have purchased the tanning package Glazers will be ready for you pre stage to glaze you.

The backstage staff will let you know when it’s time for your class to go on stage.

It’s your responsibility to ensure you are pumped up and glazed prior to going on stage.

Q)
I want to sign up for novice, this is my first season competing. I placed top 3 in a show before yours in the same year am I still a novice?

Yes, your status as a novice lasts for the duration of the season. You’ll no longer be able to compete as a novice in your next season though.

Q)
I want to do a first timer’s class. I competed once before as a Bikini competitor and now want to compete in Figure. Can I do the first timers?

No, first timers divisions are reserved for athletes who have never competed, e.g. stepped on stage. Your first time is your first time and once you have done that you can never do a "first time" on stage again.

Q)
I’m a teen competitor, can I compete in the juniors, novice, or men’s open class or the men’s physique division?

Yes, you could compete in any of the aforementioned classes and divisions at a qualifier, so long as you meet the criteria for being a novice.
